PERC 2008 Abstract Detail Page

It is said that if you want to be a friend, you must show yourself friendly. This means that in order to forge a connection, we must deal with our own actions rather than the actions of those we want to befriend. This year's PERC has been organized around issues of diversity, and this targeted poster session focuses specifically on issues of race. In order to show ourselves friendly in this context, we must examine our own behaviors and the effects they have on racial minorities. Each poster in this session offers us an opportunity to examine our own contributions to the racial aspects of physics culture. We hope that you will accept the invitation this opportunity extends, and share your ideas and experiences with us.
